Thales Leites interested in rematches with Anderson Silva, Michael Bisping

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Thales Leites got the call to replace Michael Bisping against Gegard Mousasi after "The Count" was booked against former champion Anderson Silva in the main event of UFC Fight Night 84, and he’s interested in avenging losses to both headliners in the future.

Leites, who lost to Silva and Bisping via decision, battles Mousasi in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC event in London, and will take a closer look at the headlining attraction at the O2 Arena.

"I want (rematches) with both of them," Leites said during a recent media day at Nova Uniao.
